StarWords India’s Creator

Shreya Dutta is the Founder & Creative Head of StarWords India. This platform helps young talents to get published internationally. She is also the author of "Dance in the Rain".
Years ago, when little girls were jotting down their bucket list, Shreya was lost in her dreamland in which she was immortal.
Shreya Dutta had started off writing at an early age because she believed that writing not only helped her to voice her opinion but also led her closer to immortality. With every write-up that gets published, Shreya believes that she gets embedded in the pages of history to inspire the youngsters who dream likewise. Writing is not just her passion; it is her way of taking the road less travelled.
